"I look forward to your posts. Most other bloggers are boring as hell - either rant about frummies or some other crap. You're different. Sometimes ehem, slightly ditzy - but otherwise an entertaining read."- the big bad Jacob Da Jew

"Your blog is definitely my favorite out there in the blogosphere."- Kailey Z.

"[Material Maidel is] the first blog I've read that takes issues most people feel strongly about, and rather than bash society for the way we are, like most do, presenting certain situations and issues in a more entertaining light gets the criticism out there in a non-critical way."- Sruli Schwartz

My asian co-worker said she hopes Obama doesn't win because she doesn't think a black guy should be President. Not because she's racist, but because she thinks black people are racist against everyone else.

How many times have you been asked by a non-hebrew fellow human whether your parents would care if you brought home a Kanye West wannabe?

I always respond that as long as he's part of the tribe, then he can vibe. (ok, ok, I tried to be cutesy, it didnt work. keep reading)

But truth is, I think my parents would probably care a great deal. Not because of color - they're not racist, G-d forbid! But if a boy's momma doesn't serve gefilte, then he ain't coming to my house.

I had a situation where someone was looking for a place to stay, to rent, and I remembered this Jewish black girl who was looking for a roomate, so I gave the girl her number without thinking twice, I then thought to myself perhaps she would mind that the girl isn't white. But then she was totally cool with it. The place wasn't for her, but the colored girl helped her find a place to stay which worked out.
